Each year hours vary twice a year in the world, moving forward in the spring and then back in the fall. The changes are designed to maximize our daily hours to reflect the passing of seasons, but some people argue that we should have a time zone standardised throughout the year.
When does the time difference?
The clock will change on Sunday, October 30th, a day earlier than last year's change always occurs on the last Sunday of October. That means we'll have an extra hour in bed. We'll also have lighter breakfasts, however, also means it will be dark an hour early in the evening.
Why do we change the clock?
The main reason we change the clock is to get as much of the light of the day as possible. The first time change was introduced by the German government in 1916 during World War I as a means to save fuel and money. The longer the hours of the day, the less electricity is required.
The British summer act was established in 1972. This began the tradition of changing the clock at the end of March and October.
Why Do the Hours Change Sunday?
Hours vary Sunday thanks to the EU. The Hour of Day Savings is always held between the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October, and all changes occur at 0100 GMT under an EU directive.
